Next door came the sound of tea cups colliding, and then came an impatient voice, "I heard the master say that the output of gold mine is insufficient recently?"

Wu San was embarrassed and said, "yes, villains have let them dig day and night, but the gold yield is not satisfactory. Mr. Li, villains can't help it."

"According to your estimation, how much gold can be dug up in a month?" After this sentence, the secret room was silent for a long time. It must be Wu San who was estimating the output of gold. Sure enough, he said: "according to the estimation of villains, at most three jin can be dug out. This is still an optimistic estimation."

"As far as I know, the gold yield of this gold mine in the previous month was more than five Jin." A gentle voice came across the stone wall. It should be Huang De, Anhui's political envoy.

"Mr. Huang, you also said that before, the mine had been almost hollowed out, and it couldn't be dug out." Listen to Wu San's complaint, Huang de low smile, "in the end is not dig out, or you Wu San Zang selfish?"

Wu San seemed to be startled and said in a hurry: "you are really wrong. Even if you have the courage, you dare not deceive some adults. It's true..."

"Ten jin." A proud young voice interrupted Wu San's words, "if you can't dig ten jin of gold in a month, you Wu San will fill it with your life."

Hearing this voice, Dongfang Su could hardly believe his ears. It was him

On the other side of the stone wall, Wu San looked at the young man sitting on the top with a sad face. "Young man, even if you cut the little man to pieces, you can't dig out ten jin."

The young man gave a low smile and put down the tea which he had hardly touched. "You remind me of that. Well, if you can't dig ten jin, you will be cut to pieces."

Wu San's face was green and white, and his only eye flashed a dark and secret light, "please be kind."

The young man moved his hands and feet, walked up to him and said with a smile: "you know what I don't like most is bargaining. Another word, it's not a matter of ten jin."

Wu San was biting his teeth hard, but he said, "I will obey the order of the young master."

"Good." The young master patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, "go down, I have something to say with the two adults."

After Wu San left, Huang de said respectfully, "you must have come all the way for more than ten jin of gold, right What happened to Jinling? "

The young man returned to the chair and sat down, rubbing the jade like porcelain cup. The green tea soup showed a pair of cold eyes, "uncles I haven't seen your majesty for more than a month. "

Huang Deyi is surprised, "this is why?"

"More than a month ago, there was news in the palace that his Majesty was ill and could not go to the court. All the affairs of the court were handled by the crown prince, and the ninth king and Zhang Qiling were assistant officials."

"Prince?" Li Maolin said in a startled voice: "isn't the prince only eight years old this year? How can he handle the affairs of the imperial court? This This is ridiculous. "

The young master glanced at him and said coldly, "Mr. Li, I just don't think I heard that. Don't try again."

Li Maolin came back to his senses and said: "it's my official who made a slip of the tongue. Thank you for your generosity."

Huang de pondered for a moment and said tentatively, "is it difficult for the prince to be dissatisfied with the young master and make him subject?"

His words made the young man smile with disdain. "It's just a yellow haired child. What can it restrict. Besides, I have no official position and no job. I'm afraid he doesn't even know who I am. "

"If so, why..." Huang de did not go on, but the meaning was obvious.

The young master rubbed the finger carved from the whole piece of Hetian jade and said coldly, "according to the eyes of the palace, your majesty It's not in the palace at all. "

Li Maolin was surprised and said, "how could this happen? Where are you going? "

The young master narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "I don't know. I'm afraid that his embrace is false, and his micro clothes are true."

Huang De's eyelids jumped fiercely, his voice trembled and said, "you mean Your majesty may have come to us by taking ill clothes? "

The young master didn't speak. His eyes turned and fell on Li Maolin who was in a state of panic. "Have you stepped into Lingyang recently with unknown origins?"

"No Li Maolin said subconsciously. After a while, he shook his head hastily, "yes."

Huang de said unhappily, "is there any way to make it clear?"

Li Maolin swallowed his saliva and carefully said, "about three or four days ago, a foreign businessman came to Lingyang."

The young master said nervously, "where are they now?"

Li Maolin knew what he was worried about, so he said: "don't worry, young master, that man will never be your majesty, because he is in the mine now. As for his family, they have been burned to death in Fuyong Inn, and none of them is left. You think, if he is your majesty, how can he not even have a guard around him?"

The young master's face was a little slow, and he was about to speak. Suddenly he heard a "Dong" sound, like something falling to the ground. His face changed. After stopping Huang de and Huang de from making a sound, he quietly came to the door of the secret room and suddenly opened the stone door. It was empty outside, and no one was seen.Strange. Did you hear me wrong?

This idea only appeared for a moment and was denied by him. Huang de and they all heard it. It can't be hallucination. There is no one at the door, that is to say

He went back to the chamber of secrets and observed the stone walls around him. He said: "that's good. I hope I'm more thoughtful. I'll ask you to take more trouble here in Lingyang. By the way, how's Mr. Zhao recently? I haven't seen him for a while."

Huang de was puzzled. When the young master arrived at Lingyang, he was the first one to see Zhao Jimin, governor of Anhui Province. How could he forget so soon?

Li Maolin is also full of doubts. He is about to ask. Huang de seems to understand something and makes a wink. Although he doesn't know what he means, he closes his mouth with interest.

In that chamber, Huang Deshun said to the young master, "governor, everything is well. I miss you. I often ask about you. Since you are here this time, you have to meet governor."

"Mr. Zhao treats me like a nephew. I'll call on you from now on." When he spoke, the young man stopped in front of a stone wall and gently stroked the uneven wall with his fingers. If he remembered correctly, his voice came from here.

He made a sign to Huang De, who nodded knowingly and left. After a while, he led Wu San and some strong men in, two of them with a sledgehammer in their hands.

Wu San came to the young master and said in a low voice, "the villain has sent people to keep an eye on the mines. If someone runs out in a hurry, he can catch him immediately."

The young man nodded, "let's go."
